If they ever stop supporting it I will continue to use the last version to support it, any website that breaks compatibility with this Firefox version can get fucked.

I can't imagine using the web without firefox and ublock. Even the cookie consent popups are awful.

The best extension :)

Google is locking down Android too!

Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.

And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.

Like a true google hate inspired hipster I have been using Firefox for at least the past 9 years. Don't let one of the shittiest companies control even more of the world because you are too fucking lazy to switch to a different browser. If you have to deal with a few shitty websites made by morons that only work in chrome keep a secondary chromium install on standby when you have to hold your nose and use it.

Being unable to use manifest v2 extensions anymore on most chromium based stuff has resulted in me writing off almost all browsers that are base on chromium. Kudos to Firefox for continuing to support it! Let's hope that does not change at all anytime soon.

Future is dark:

1. Android getting locked down

2. They are asking your government ID to use OS, access internet etc.

There must be real protest, revolution, something otherwise it will just get worst

So, I can finally point and laugh at the people who were saying that the manifest V3 thing was a non issue because their ad blocker was still working ?

In unrelated news, Firefox is now the dominant browser and nobody knows why.

I.e. it is the last usable browser.

You would think Apple would take the massive opportunity and bake in proper privacy and ad blocking to safari. Wouldn’t hurt their bottom line.

I tried browsing the internet without uBlock Origin. I hated it in 5 minutes. I'm not going back to there anytime again. If your browser does not support uBlock Origin, then I am not using it.

Since there are only two major browsers... one of which admittedly wears many disguises.

That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.

Happy with Librewolf. I can't imagine using my browser everyday if I don't have a good adblocker on it like uBO.

Instead of uBlock Origin rather use AdNauseam. It's basically uBlock Origin, but it "clicks" on the blocked ads so the ad networks still have to pay website owners.

Pihole. Doesn’t solve everything, but I’m currently blocking ads from just over a half million domains.

All the other major browser has blocked it.

If it goes... I don't know what I'll do.

Go out and touch grass probably.

Get a hobby.

Perfect my molotov recipe.

Sometimes I think it was a mistake to let the programs we primarily use to view text and images become bloated virtual machines that execute megabytes of arbitrary code with every page load.
